North Zakynthos Cruise Itinerary

This 6-hour private cruise is the most popular of all our Zakynthos tours, offering visits to the island's top attractions, including the stunning Shipwreck Beach and the magnificent Blue Caves. The cruise departs at 09:00 AM from Zakynthos Port in Zakynthos Town, sailing along the beautiful coastlines of Tsilivi and Alykanas. Our first stop will be Shipwreck Beach, one of the most breathtaking beaches in the world, tucked away in a secluded cove on the island’s northwest coast. The beach owes its name to the decaying wreck of the MV Panagiotis, a smuggling ship that rests on the shore, creating an iconic and unforgettable sight.

After taking in the beauty of Shipwreck Beach, we’ll visit nearby secluded beaches where you can relax and enjoy private swimming in peaceful surroundings. We’ll then head to the Blue Caves, a series of natural arches and caves sculpted by the sea over millennia. The striking contrast of the white, rugged cliffs and the brilliant blue waters will leave you mesmerized. As sunlight dances through the water, it casts an otherworldly glow that illuminates the cave walls, creating a magical atmosphere. We’ll anchor close to the caves so you can take in the view and swim in their crystal-clear waters.
...

Following the Blue Caves, we recommend a visit to Nobelos Bio Restaurant, located near St. Nicholas Port, where you can enjoy a delightful meal of fresh fish and local specialties. If you wish, you can extend your cruise by an additional hour. After lunch, we’ll head to the famous Xigia Beach, known for its therapeutic sulfur springs. A swim in these rejuvenating waters offers a spa-like experience that’s sure to refresh you.

South Zakynthos Cruise Itinerary

The southern coastline of Zakynthos is home to some of the island’s most incredible beaches, as well as impressive natural landmarks like the stunning Keri Caves and the picturesque Marathonisi. Our adventure begins at 09:00 AM from Zakynthos Port in Zakynthos Town, sailing along the coastline of Vasilikos. Our first stop will be a secluded beach, accessible only by boat, where you can enjoy a refreshing swim in privacy. Next, we’ll head toward Marathonisi Island, also known as Turtle Island. This small, uninhabited island, shaped like a turtle, is covered in lush vegetation and offers a stunning landscape. With two main beaches and several stunning sea caves, it’s a perfect spot for exploration using our snorkeling gear.

Our next stop takes us to Laganas Bay, where you’ll have the chance to see the Caretta-Caretta loggerhead sea turtles in their natural environment. The Caretta-Caretta turtles are among the world's oldest species. During the nesting season, they return to their birthplace beaches to lay their eggs - an impressive ritual where they emerge from the sea, dig deep nests in the sand, and carefully deposit their precious eggs in the exact same spots where they were born. You will have the opportunity to capture some great photos of the turtles swimming next to the yacht or even jump into the water to swim alongside them.
...

We’ll then continue towards the Keri Caves and the remarkable Kamara Cave, where you can dive in and explore these iconic natural wonders. On our way back, we can stop at Porto Roma for a delicious lunch and extend the cruise for an additional hour. Porto Roma is a charming Greek taverna right on the beach, offering a wide selection of tasty Greek dishes and fresh fish. After lunch, we’ll make our way to Vasilikos, where you can take a dip at famous beaches like Banana Beach, or visit a private beach at Porto Davias. For water sports enthusiasts, we can also stop at St. Nicholas Beach. Finally, we’ll make our way back to Zakynthos Port.
